The Hebrew people had been living In Egypt as slaves for approximately 300-400 years during which time they had been assimilated to a degree in that they adopted many Egyptian customs. Every aspect of ancient Egyptian life (religious and secular) was dominated by the ritual magic. Along with many ancient cultures, they believed that names had magical power and often invoked the gods with long litanies of names in the hope that they would "hit upon the right one" which would be pleasing to the god. The ancient Egyptians referred to the Hebrew God as Elohim or Yaweh in the same way the Hebrews did. When Moses rose up to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt into their wanderings through the desert, they began to establish more distinct customs in an effort to separate and distance themselves from their captors, the Egyptians. Along with these distinctive customs they began to refer to God as Adonai.
Ancient Egyptians believed that their ruler was a god on Earth and when he died, he would become Osirus.

An ancient Egyptian Ruler was known as a Pharaoh. The only God that I can think of that was a Pharaoh and a God was Osiris, the original god of farming.
